Happy Thanksgiving

I love the week of Thanksgiving because we get to relax and have fun the whole week. We made our yearly journey down to Atlanta for Thanksgiving this year! We had a wonderful time with family and ate until our hearts were content and then some!


of course when your granddad is the organist at church you get to play it after the service!


Campbell had her first trip to the American Girl store! She fell in love with the babies!

Jason spent Thanksgiving morning burning leaves! It was a beautiful day and the kids loved playing in and then burning the leaves!

They have so many trees in their yard. John and a friend spent 5 hours raking leaves the day before we got there and 4 days later there were just as many on the ground as there was before!

Ann get the kids P.J's every year. They are always matching and the kids love it!

This is basicly what Andrew and Campbell did all day. They just wrestled each other and then would laugh about it!

New PJ'

The first of many....

Austin came home from school today with one less tooth in his mouth than when I sent him this morning! The tooth has been loose for a few weeks now and today his teacher at school pulled it out! I was so suprised because I checked it last night and it was loose but I did not think it was ready! Apparently his teacher pulls out alot of teeth! He told me last week that he wanted Mrs. Hale to pull out his tooth, I laughed and thought no way!

Girls weekend

It was a minor miracle but all 7 of us from our caregroup at church found a weekend to get away to the lake. Jill and Chris have a wonderful condo at the lake so all of us girls headed down on Friday for some food and shopping!! A big thanks to all the dads who stayed home with all the kids!.

Bags in the car after the first store!

This weekend we had the whole family in town. The church that I grew up in was celebrating their 125th anniversary. My grandma has gone to this church since she was 3 and they honored her this weekend. All of my mom's sisters were in town and we just had a great weekend. (Doty has great pics on her blog of the weekend). My kids especially loved that their cousins got to stay with us here at the house!

Lydia, leah, campbell and Austin!

Fall pictures

We have had a fun and full last week. Here are some pictures!!

Campbell ready to go to the grogery store(seriously just the grocery store and she wore this the whole time!!)

We went to Silver Dollar City this past weekend and we of course had a wonderful time. The weahter was perfect fall weather and the kids had a blast riding all the rides they love so much!

Doing what she does best! Snacking!!

Of course we had a great time trick-or-treating last night. We had a Tinkerbell and Batman!

The scoggin boys came over along with The Taylors and Cunios! We all had a great time watching the kids get all their candy! We had piles upon piles of candy!!
